WASHER PROBLEMS

LOUD/CONSISTENT NOISES

The most common reason we make service calls for washers is because the machine is making a loud noise. The most common reason for the noise is typically a worn belt, bad bearing, or a broken pump motor. These are all issues for which we carry the parts and tools needed and can fix the problem the same day.

WON’T TURN ON/AGITATE

When the washing machine won’t turn on, make sure it is getting electricity. Check to make sure it is plugged in and that the circuit breaker has not flipped off. Otherwise, the problem may be from a broken timer, thermal fuse, or door latch. If the washer turns on but does not agitate, the culprit is the transmission, drive belt, agitator cogs, or coupler. Call us and we can fix any of these problems the same day.

WON’T SPIN

A broken wax motor, motor coupling or door latch are the usual reasons your washer will not spin. Don’t start washing your clothes by hand. Call us for same day efficient service. We carry the part to fix this issue for any major brand.

OVERFLOWS

When the washer overflows the trouble is usually caused by trouble with the air dome tube, water inlet valve, or water level pressure switch. These are routine same day repairs. Call us to schedule a same-day service call.

NO HOT/COLD WATER
